NEWS FROM THE VILLAGE WITH \ HEAv
ENLY NAME.
Zion, March "a b 1887.
We have been entertained this year By at
tending vendue safes. More personal prop
trty has changed hands this spring in our
vicinity than ever before in my recollection
We are sorry 10 hear of our schools clos
ing At such AN early day. We have bravely
fought for prohibition and Won the battle,
and now let us array for good schools and
more schools and better school houses
W hen We loon at some of our school houses
it fills us with sorrow TO think we cannon
afford better.
We wish our mule man north of ZION
would subscribe for your valuable paper
and then II would relieve him from sending
half mile on Sunday morning to borrow
one, As have been IA subscriber for THE
WING Tor number OF years, | would not
give 1t up for the Philadelphia Record.
1t is a terrible thing to state tnat one of
our young men from neighboriug farm gor
disguised with his Sorrel horse aud traded
him oil BECAUSE he mad IA sorrel head him-
self.
Our horse dealers who used to inhabit
pear cider ranches seem to take things
coolly and are surely better off without
trequenting such places. Even the redness
noses has disappeared since January the 11t.
Onr enterprising black smith can be found
changing away, and he tells us business is
good. Our wheelwright is overpowered with
work.
Adds boss has entirely recovered He
got we'll himself and report states he would
like to bs one OF our coming commissioners
Our would-be Representative is enjoying
good health This winter, and can be seen
daily starting on his excursions.
Andis says he is swallowed up in mys-
tery-he means the mystery of one of our
young dansels.
Sam is rejoicing over his great adventures
and victories. Look out Sam, 1t is IA long
lane that has no turning
Our pump-auger man paid a flying visit
to our village and was entertained by our
worthy wheelwright, but cider was scarce
We wish some OF the young men who at
tend our church would respect the house
enough, not 10 chew tobacco OF spit on
the floor. Not long since | saw some of
them splitting tobacco juice on the floor. Ii
1t is repeated | will surely expose their
names. We gladly welcome tho young to
our church, We treat them kindly and wish
them To show respect TO Gods house. and To
abstain from the Use of tobacco when in il.
In our little district we have five appli-
cants for county offices. Two for sheriff
and three for commissioners. Now we can
not see how 50 many Democrats fcom such
small district can all get their wants.
Wide awake has greatly offended some of
our young ladies. They talk of cunning
for him. When Il Young single man talks
about running short of provisions he is sure
to touch tender spot i'll a womsn's heart
that she wont forget soon.
Our select school is III hourshing condi-
ton, although not so largely attended As
last vii ter. We cannot tell tae reason, we
see scholars going to Calvert which is two
miles distant.
Jake is practicing some long named piece
to deliver at Calvert, we cannot think of
the name OF it but hope he won't stammer
aud nod his head.
Now AS don't wish to occupy too much of
your space will say adieu. +. ID. 5.
